Pharmacologic Treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta: New Agents and their Potential Implications for Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Abstract

Current pharmacologic treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) consists of agents studied in and developed for use in osteoporosis. New agents under study for use in osteoporosis may also benefit patients with OI. In this chapter we review recommendations for current dietary supplements and the potential of several new anabolic and anti-resorptive agents for use in OI, including recombinant parathyroid hormone, sclerostin antibodies, strontium ranelate, RANK-ligand inhibitors, and cathepsin K inhibitors. While many of these agents may prove beneficial to patients with OI, optimal therapies for the future will target the specific collagen mutations underlying the disorder.
